Transcription Notes:
top of 39 - note says from f. 37. This means this entry is a follow-up letter from the last entry on 37. Date on last entry makes no sense - "November Octr 26 1865". I saw one before it that was "O November". McRee is the correct spelling the the Doctor's last name - Census and death records proof.
